Death Stranding 2: How To Shoot While Driving

In the following guide, we’ll take a look at how you can shoot while driving in Death Stranding 2 and why it’s important.

The map is even more expansive in Death Stranding 2 compared to the first game. While Sam will start out with his deliveries on foot, he can acquire a vehicle rather quickly. The vehicle makes traversal much easier, letting Sam deliver his cargo or complete other requests quickly. However, driving comes with its own risks. If you aren’t careful, Sam could experience a nasty tumble while moving through the rocky and uneven terrain. The bigger threat is suddenly encountering bandits or BTs on the road, who will start attacking immediately.

When that happens, the game makes sure that you aren’t completely defenseless. That’s why you can even shoot and lob grenades at foes while on your vehicle. In this guide, we’ll explore how you can shoot while driving in Death Stranding 2.

How Can You Shoot While Driving in Death Stranding 2?

To start shooting while you’re driving a vehicle, simply press and hold Right on the D-pad of your controller. The weapon and item selection screen will open, and you can choose which item or weapon to use from there. Once you’ve made your pick, Sam will equip the gun, and you can begin firing at enemies as you normally would. Besides guns, you can also select grenades this way.

However, make sure you throw the grenades carefully. If they fall too close to Sam, he might be knocked down from the vehicle, causing damage to the cargo he’s carrying.

Tips for Shooting While Driving

The following are some of the things to remember when you want to shoot while driving in Death Stranding 2.

• You can only aim within a range of 180 degrees in front of Sam. That means you won’t be able to engage enemies behind you without turning the vehicle around.
• Accelerating a vehicle requires you to press R1, while shooting requires you to press R2. So, you’ll have to adjust your grip if you intend to do both at the same time.
• Human enemies usually won’t be fast enough to pursue Sam if you drive past them. So, if things seem dire and you need to quickly escape, it’s possible to do so against bandits.
• BTs might or might not be quicker than your vehicle. It will depend on the type of vehicle you’re driving. Either way, if you can outpace them, you can limit the chances of facing a Voidout.
• Taking too much damage can cause Sam to fall off the vehicle and lose some of the cargo he’s carrying. If you want to avoid this in a hairy situation, you can simply get off the vehicle and start fighting on foot.
